Using ka
When speaking japanese, do I always use か at the end of a question? Even if I'm just saying something like "What?" (なに？) or (なにか？)

Question

Answer

It depends on the form you use. In the informal form, saying なに？is OK. However, in the formal form, in generall, we use it as なんですか, and  text books teach you in this way, but there are cases we don't use it in everyday conversation. For example: なんです？なんでしょう…？

I hope it helps you.
